Broke-Ass Porn: Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

Once a week we present Broke-Ass Porn.  It’s visually stimulating material for the financially impaired.  If this shit doesn’t get you going, you’re not as broke as you thought:

This photo would be way more badass if he wasn’t wearing flip-flops

If you’ve been reading this site for awhile, you know that traveling is one of my favorite things in the entire world.  You can tell it’s been on my mind lately because of such other broke-ass porn posts as Foreign Money and Cheap Airfare Websites.  Seriously, all I wanna do right now is pack up my backpack and take off for a few months.  For nearly two years I lived out of a bag and bounced around  between Ireland, San Francisco, South America, and New York.  Often times I fantasize about doing it again.

If you’ve got the same affliction as I do, then watching No Reservations is like pornography.  Bourdain goes all the places you wanna go and does all the things you wish you could.  Let’s continue with that analogy: in real life your partner might not be willing to let you fist his or her ass, but with porn you get to see what’s like.  Same goes with No Reservations.  Your life my not let you go to Vietnam and wander around eating street food.  Both scenarios might happen occasionally (you save up enough money and vacation days for that trip or your partner might get drunk enough to allow some fisting) but they both remain more or less fantasies which are most easily realized by watching others do it.

Truthfully, fisting really isn’t something that turns me on, but travel is.  Watching No Reservations allows me to supplement my fantasy until the next time I get to live it out.  I guess that’s about the best porn can do.

So here is my question, if you could go anywhere in the world for a month or two, where would you go?  Post your comment below.  Or if you wanna get kinkier, what’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever seen in porn?
